HANOI (AFP): Rescuers in Vietnam have pulled the body of a 10-year-old boy from a hollow concrete pillar at a construction site, weeks after he became trapped, state media said Friday (Jan 20).
Thai Ly Hao Nam fell into the 25-centimetre-wide (12-inch) shaft of the pillar -- sunk 35m (115 feet) as part of a new bridge -- apparently while looking for scrap metal on Dec 31.
